Is there any particular reason why Clemson doesn't have a

parking garage on campus? This would help soooo much in commuter/resident parking and would allow more space for a new bball arena and IPTAY parking...

And I hope they never build one. If they want one just outside of campus where buses can bring people in that is fine but Clemson should never build a parking garage on campus.

And the idea was seriously discussed 1-2 years ago, but I don't personally think we need one as of this moment.

of Clemson's long range facilities plan, the plan includes several praking garages around campus; two of which were located across from the Hendrix Center and behind Sirrine.

It all depends on the designer. Parking garages can be very well done or they can look like crap. And they don't have to be for tailgating. With such a national (and international) student base, there are bound to be some students who would rather do work on a Saturday instead of going to a football game. At the moment, there is really no place to park for these students. A well-designed garage, placed away from the stadium, could provide a place for students to park on Saturdays and still look very good.

I think the Brooks Center parking would be a good place...but that's just my opinion.

Turn the Pit into a garage, if we have to have one

It's already ugly and remotely located. Of course it would screw with about 800 IPTAY parking spaces, so it'll never happen.

Maybe do a search on the cost per parking spot versus a flat lot parking spot. It's astronomically high for garage parking compared to a flat lot. Last time I checked, CLEMSON had a lot of flat areas.
For me - I prefer the beauty of CLEMSON. Very few campuses compare to our campus.
